As Snow’s personal maid and bodyguard, Elona wasn’t just a normal servant, so if Snow specially asked her to get him, it must be something important.

What could it be?

Lin Xiao tried asking Elona but she didn’t know either and just said that Snow will tell him when he gets there.

When ShenDai Ying and Elena heard the conversation at the door they also stopped fighting and came to hear what was going on and when ShenDai Ying heard that Snow wanted to meet she wanted to go as well!

But because of what happened her socks were already destroyed and she couldn’t go out and had to go back to take a shower and change into a new one.

She couldn’t go and couldn’t let Elena go with him so he could only go himself.

Actually, that should have been the case since Snow only called for Lin Xiao, if he brought anyone else along she would surely get angry.

So Lin Xiao left the two with a few simple words and told them to stop fighting before quickly leaving with Elona.

Speaking of it, Snow suddenly had something important for him, it most likely had something to do with the black core.

Could she have already succeeded?

If that was the case then Lin Xiao’s trip to Gotham Kingdom could officially come to a close, and they would completely destroy the enlightenment society’s wicked plan, then that third apostle would probably come to assassinate them!

Assassinate?

Hmph, that would be exactly what Lin Xiao wanted, he was just worried that they would keep hiding and not show themselves!

“Um… Lin Xiao, there is one thing I feel like I should warn you about ahead of time.”

“What’s that?”

“Master has been focused on her work recently and has been really stressed so she isn’t in the best mood.”

“That I can understand. Deciphering the black core is difficult so I’ll keep that in mind.”

“No, not just her mood. Actually, master has been hearing about a lot of rumors recently.”

“Rumors?”

“The meeting a couple of days ago, the rumors regarding you and Claire has made master very irritable… so Lin Xiao, you should make some preparations.”

“Uh…”

Lin Xiao instantly understood when he heard Elona’s warning and nervously gulped.

He almost forgot that when it came to jealousy, his devilish little sister wouldn’t lose to anyone!

“T-then let’s go!”

Lin Xiao picked up the pace to not be late and hoped that Snow didn’t hear any rumors that were too outrageous.





At the same time

A little girl was sprawled out on the sofa with her eyes closes. She was facing up toward the ceiling and wanted to sleep but couldn’t, so she just played with her long blue hair to keep herself awake.

Snow was too tired. For the last few days she has been conducting various experiments with the black core nonstop. Since she couldn’t see she needed someone to help her with the experiments but since it involved black magic and she couldn’t reveal her own secret, Elona was the only one who could help.

She was responsible for directing and Elona for operating, the two worked well together but they only had two people… oh no, one and a half people so they weren’t fast at all.

Since Snow was still a child, although she was mature her body couldn’t keep up.

As a red-eyed black cat, not sleeping wasn’t a big deal to Elona, but Snow couldn’t…

The more anxious she got the more she couldn’t concentrate, even if she just stayed up one night, the next day she would become like an idiot and couldn’t maintain the same research speed.

“Although we still haven’t made a cure, we’ve finally come to an end. It’s just missing one last step! Just one more and I can completely decipher the black core!”

And this final step was the reason she needed Lin Xiao.

“Sigh, I can only leave this to him.”

Snow was annoyed as she thought about how she had to ask her stinking brother for help, but this thing was troublesome and couldn’t be made public, so she could only ask her brother.

To complete the final step of the research, Snow needed one more ingredient, the sacred crystal fruit! It was a rare mutation that could rarely be bought and had to be specially found. Finding it wasn’t difficult but it was involved with the secret of the black core so it couldn’t be revealed and she had to rely on someone trustworthy to find it.

Lin Xiao was clearly the best choice.

“But I heard that he’s been getting closer to Claire recently and even made a mess during the meeting a couple of days ago… damn brother, are you not even going to let a tomboy go?”

“Saintess Snow?”

While Snow was lying on the sofa and thinking about all kinds of things, she suddenly heard a voice at the door. She thought it was her brother and immediately sat up and tidied up her clothes and hair to welcome him, but she tilted her head because something wasn’t right.

“No, the footsteps are heavier, it’s not him… hey, who are you?”

“It’s me!”

“Saint Nick, why are you here?”

When Snow realized it was Saint Nick, she wilted back down and laid down in low spirits. She retreated back into her baggy white robes and continued to act dead.

Even though Nick couldn’t see Snow’s expression, he could still feel her disappointment. He was a handsome guy, so why was she disappointed? Was it because she was blind and couldn’t see his appearance so she didn’t like him?

“Little sister Snow, are you waiting for someone?”

“I’m waiting for my brother, I never expected it was you… hey, don’t call me little sister, you’re not worthy to be my brother!”

“Your bother… is it Lin Xiao?”

“Yeah, but Nick, how did you know?”

“I’ve met him, so of course, I know.”

“Is that so… if that’s the case, what do you think about my brother? He’s an outstanding person, right!”

“Uh, outstanding is he.” Nick didn’t know whether that stinking kid was outstanding or not, all he knew was that he was annoying!

“Um… Snow, was there something important that you had to specifically ask for your brother?”

“There is something annoying, I wanted to get him to help me find…”

“Help you find what?” Nick got closer and his calm voice almost made Snow slip up, but she became vigilant and didn’t fall for it.

“Help me find the sacred… hm? Nick, why are you asking all these questions? That has nothing to do with you, right?”

“Hehe, just asking, it’s fine if you can’t talk about it.” Nick said he didn’t mind and pretended to be calm while laughing it off, but he was worried about it especially after hearing the ‘sacred’ word.

Could Snow have already…

“Nick, what did you come here for? I still have to wait for my brother so I have no time to chat.” When Nick fell into a strange silence, Snow felt like he didn’t have good intentions so she wanted to chase him away.

“Cough… nothing important, I just wanted to ask about your recent developments.”

“Okay, what did you want to ask? Leave after you’re done.”

“Hehe, what’s the rush, your brother isn’t even here yet… I wanted to ask whether you’ve already successfully deciphered the black core?”

“Hm?”
